Card counting getting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an advantage over the gambling hall.

The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they may bust the casino when she hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
